Snake River Fishing Report – (4.9.26)

The Snake Rivers flows are hovering around 280 cfs. Expect those flows for the month of so until run-off really kicks into high gear.

From our friends at the Snake River Fund: Von Gontaard’s Landing is open to the public as of March 1st. Please be advised that Von Gontaard’s is not maintained and may not be accessible with a vehicle due to snowy conditions. All other boat ramps on the Snake River and its tributaries are closed to vehicular traffic. Ramps from Wilson Bridge down to Sheep Gulch can still be accessed by foot and with hand-carried watercraft.

Boat ramps at Wilson Bridge and South Park Bridge will be plowed on March 16th and will be accessible shortly thereafter. Boat ramps at Moose Bridge and Pritchard Landing will be plowed some time during the last two weeks of March and should be accessible by April 1st. Snake River Fund will notify the public when these ramps are accessible.

For up-to-date information on Snake River watershed accesses, be sure to check our Access & Conditions page. This resource also provides real time water quality to select monitoring sites. Depending on which gauge you select, this data can include water temperature, dissolved oxygen levels, pH, and turbidity.

From our friends at Grand Teton National Park: Moose Landing is snow-free and open and Deadmans Bar Road is open as of April 9th.

The Snake can offer some great early spring fishing opportunities when conditions are right. Warm calm days are going to be your friend and concentrate on the warmest parts of the day. With the recent warm weather and mild spring season, we are seeing some decreased clarity on the Snake River. Watch the weather and conditions as some cooler days and nights will stall run-off and open up some more fishing windows. When conditions are right, remember that fish have moved out of their summer water areas so look for slower water areas like holes, recirculating eddies, tailouts and buckets. Anglers should concentrate on those slower water areas with Midges, BWOs and perhaps some early Skwalas. Nymphing will most likely be the most productive method but keep your eyes open for fish eating off the surface. Streamers can also be productive but remember to keep you flies low and slow. Take advantage of the recent warm weather and get out on the water!
